Swapping all running gear into a new shell

[FTEvolution]

Hi all,

I haven't posted here in a long while, and it is embarassing to say, since last time, money has been a b1tch, and my car has gone down hill severely, subsequently it is now de-registered.

Things are on the up and up now, so I am going to get a new shell and transfer all of the running gear into it, a fresh lease on life.

The shell I am looking at is a manual, mine is Tip, I want to use the manual box with the 6a13tt engine (the engine was from a manual Legnum originally). Apparently there was quite a lot of fiddling needed for the ECU (possibly just the wiring) to get it working with the Tip box.

Can anyone foresee any electrical issues when I swap everything over? Will the engine (or more specifically the ECU) be expecting to see a Tip box?

Next I need to look into is what needs to be done...

From the old GR motor, I guess I need to swap the flywheel over to the 6a13, then the clutch (I will get a new one, perhaps Exedy or similar).

I am assuming axles etc will all be fine.

Other than transferring everything (including electrics), what else can expect to come up against?

Disclaimer: I have been a party to engine swapping before, it is just the oddities I need to know about, as myself and the people halping me can handle the other issues with regards to getting everything in.

Thanks Bennoz,

Hasn't really answered what is burning in my mind, but when I am pulling everything apart, perhaps I can answer more people's questions
